First off, I apologize to my friends and roleplay partners who've been left hanging. Any desire to cancel old threads is completely understandable.

I've been struggling with a serious health issue the past several months. There was a long period where things would seem to improve only to relapse, delaying things further. All that aside, just wanted to let people know I'm around again and to contact me via PM or Trillian - ironsoldier, if anyone wants to get things going again.

Claire nodded as Akiko got off of her, saying that the punch had hurt. â€œWellâ€¦it was supposed to, Aki,â€ she said, smirking a little. She was sort of proud of herselfâ€”the last time around, she had buckled under the pressure of her rivalâ€s punches. This time, she had managed to block most of them, and had managed to retaliate in a way that had forced Akiko off of her.

The schoolgirl was, however, acutely aware of the fact that she was naked. Her cheeks were bright red, a hue that could very well be permanent for the rest of the night. She placed one arm self-consciously over her chest.

When the ninja girl dove forward, looking to elbow-drop Claire in the crotch, the black-haired kawaii quickly rolled to her side and dodged the attack. Then, she would try to launch a kick towards Akikoâ€s face, trying to wear the girl down.

Okay, one more thing here. I'm sure most of you have noticed that I suck and the old Daaharu who could finish a thread in three days is gone now. But even so, I shouldn't be leaving threads for more than a week, and that has been happening with alarming frequency lately. So, please, if I have not replied to our thread in the last SEVEN DAYS, please LET ME KNOW on here or on Trillian so that I can suck a little bit less and not leave you hanging for a month.

Aki scowled as her kick missed its mark. Dammit. Claire moved pretty well for being naked. If it was her, the kunoichi would had been too embarrassed to move probably would had cover herself most of the time. Her rival sure was brave.

Aki saw Claire's kick coming, but the elbow drop took too long to recover from and she found herself was knocked off the bed by the strike. "Ack!" She hit the ground, the pillows cushioning the blow. "Ugh..." The kick hurt a lot more than she thought. Claire could definitely give good strikes now. The kick had left Aki dazed, unable to do anything at the moment though.

In public, Claire would have been petrified to have been completely naked. Heck, it was the threat of having both her breasts and pussy exposed that had convinced her to submit to Akiko during their humiliation match. Here, though, in her own bedroomâ€¦well, she had been naked here dozens of times. Even with Akiko there, she felt a little more comfortable than she might otherwise have.

It was time to see if Akiko could be as brave as she was. Claire relished the thought of stripping Akiko naked, and putting them on even footing againâ€”though she was a little worried about whether or not she could actually keep on fighting with her opponent buck naked like that. Still, with Akiko stunned by her kick, Claire had to do what she thought was best strategically. She would leap on top of her rival, trying to quickly strip the ninja girl of her bra and panties, leaving her as naked as Claire was already.

Still dazed, Akiko was helpless to prevent Claire from stripping her. All she felt was her clothes being moved around, clueless to what was really going on until her consciousness came back to her. "Huh...?" She looked around, then at herself. Her face went as red as the cherry and she squealed in embarrassment. She found herself completely naked! "Aaaaaah!" She immediately cover her breast, glaring at Claire with tears in her eyes. She wanted to scream at her and say how unfair it was, but she did the same tactic so it'd make her out as a hypocrite. It was still embarrassing all the same. "Claire..." She growled out, retreating to a wall. The last thing she wanted to do was move and have to fight naked, she wasn't prepared to.

Claire was proud of herself for being able to stun Akiko like that. After so many times that she had suffered a similar fate against her rival, she was happy to finally get the opportunity to return the favor. Quickly, she would take full advantage of the ninja girlâ€s dazedness, removing her purple bra and panties and tossing them into a pile with her own.

To be honest, Claire had not expected Akiko to freak out when she regained awareness. But the girl looked very hurt by being stripped naked, as she quickly retreated to the wall, covering herself. Claire let her go, sitting down on the bed and crossing one arm across her breasts, as well. She didnâ€t like fighting naked, but with it just being the two of them, and with both of them sort of liking the other, shouldnâ€t Akikoâ€¦

â€¦well, Claire didnâ€t know what Akiko should be feeling. She knew that she was embarrassedâ€”so was Claire, after all. But they had to keep fighting until one of them won!

â€œAkiâ€¦â€ Claire breathed, averting her gaze from her rivalâ€s naked form. â€œDonâ€t worry about itâ€¦itâ€s just the two of usâ€¦weâ€re both naked, after all, so itâ€s as embarrassing for me as it is for youâ€¦but weâ€re the only ones who will see each other this way.â€ She stood up and walked over to where Akiko sat, tentatively holding out a hand to help the girl up. â€œYou can submit if youâ€d like, but I would much rather keep going until one of us really earns the bear, the photoâ€¦and the kiss.â€

Akiko was slow to accept Claire's encouragement. She was right, they were both naked and shouldn't feel too embarrassed about it. It's not like they weren't enjoying it in one way or another. But Aki still had her pride, she didn't want to just accept these conditions and go on fighting like it was okay. A sigh escaped her and she took Claire's hand to get up. Kunoichis had to use seduction to beat their enemies, this is no different. She thought, looking up at her rival. If I want to call myself a Kunoichi, I should be able to fight another girl naked without hesitating. She didn't like it, but she'd accept this for now. If anything, to prove to herself she could. "Okay Claire, I'll keep going, for you." She said hesitantly and a bit sardonically, getting back into her fighting stance. Her face was completely red from having exposed herself, but she'd do her best to get over it. "Just don't start crying again when I beat you this time!" She said, aiming a roundhouse to Claire's head.

Claireâ€s face was a bright red, too, and she didnâ€t think that the coloration would go away for the rest of the night; being naked with a girl that she was attracted to, but also desperately wanted to beat, was not exactly the most comfortable of situations. She smiled, though, when Akiko got to her feet and once again assumed her fighting stance.

â€œHeh heh, well, Iâ€m glad youâ€ve decided to keep going. For me,â€ Claire replied, giggling hesitantly as she dropped into her own fighting stance and squared off with her rival. â€œAnd I promise you, Iâ€m not going to be doing any crying tonight, Aki! So letâ€s fight!â€

She would rush in towards Akiko, but, when the ninja girl aimed a roundhouse kick for her head, Claire skidded to a stop and put her hands up. She managed to protect her face, but the force of the blow sent her sprawling back onto the bed, anyways.

After all was said and done, Akiko was glad to be fighting Claire. She still wasn't happy with being naked, but she sure as hell wasn't losing to Claire, especially in these conditions! Once she was knocked back on the bed by Aki's kick the kunoichi was about to take full advantage by pinning her down to the bed. Actually... Aki had a better idea. It would probably be dirty and cruel, but it'd probably get a submission from the girl, and the kunoichi couldn't keep fighting naked like this for long. "Sorry to do this to you Claire, but..." Akiko turned around, slowly bring her butt to Claire's face for a facesit.

Claire groaned, rubbing her palms together to try to relieve some of the sting from Akikoâ€s powerful kick. Having protected her face, she wasnâ€t stunned at all from the blow, but, before she could react and get back to her feet, the ninja girl would jump on top of her, pinning her to the bed. â€œN-no!â€ Claire squealed, struggling to get up and get revenge on her rival. But just as she thought she might be able to wiggle her way out of the pin, however, Akiko turned around and planted her soft, pale butt on Claireâ€s shocked face.

â€œMmmmmmmff!â€ Claire screamed, kicking her legs desperately as her face was sat upon. Akiko was definitely getting her revenge for Claire sitting on her face with her bare bottom in their first match. She would pound on her rivalâ€s back and butt with her hands, desperate to force her off.

Aki did her best to resist smiling, but to no avail. The revenge was too sweet to not smile. Even though she had won their last match, the embarrassment Claire gave her was still scarring and Akiko still hadn't completely gotten over it yet. Though Claire hitting on her back was really painful. The girl's strikes had definitely improved, but Aki could take them. "Nuh-uh Claire, this is payback!" She said, pressing down on her rival's face a little harder, trying to get a submission. However, the hits soon got too painful to take. "Ow, ow! Okay, okay!" She gave a good push with her bottom for good measure before getting off, rubbing her butt and back. "Ow... you sure don't pull your punches, huh Claire?" She said, getting into her fighting stance.
